However, the home side opened the scoring against the run of play after nine minutes when Cadbury keeper Simon Crawford brought down Will Hailston in the box and Billy Downes converted the spot-kick.
The equaliser came seven minutes later when the Sutton defence failed to clear a cross from the right and the ball was forced home after goalkeeper Ashley Clark parried the initial shot.
Sutton restored their lead on 38 minutes when a Kyle Shallcross corner from the right produced a goalmouth scramble and the ball was forced over the line by Darren Hawkins.
Heath put pressure on the hosts after the break with strong running, preventing Sutton from settling into their usual passing game.
Luke Andrews was adjuged to have fouled a visiting winger in the box on 51 minutes but Clark made an excellent save low to his left from the resulting penalty.
Sutton brought on all three substitutes - Kye Holly, Liam Farmer and John Lock - during the remaining minutes and survived strong pressure from Heath but were unable to take advantage of the extra space at the other end as the visitors pushed forward.
On Saturday, Sutton visit fourth-placed Street.
